What about the neighbor who made the false report? Did she suffer any legal consequences?
I suspect the Erik Cantu judgment will eclipse this record next year. That's the San Antonio McDonald's parking lot while eating a burger, police shooting. It appears he's going to live.
Imagine how many people throught the years who were convicted on the testimony of cops fabricating, altering, or destroying evidence when there was no such thing as video evidence, and cops knew that their word was accepted as fact in a court of law.
They still do all of that now, WHILE BEING RECORDED. They do. not. care.
In addition to the $7,000,000.00 payment, I'd ask the Court to impose a Permanent Injunction against the Ex-Officer ever being employed in Law Enforcement, Security or any other Position that requires passing a Background Check…
If I were the Mayor of Idaho Springs, I'd be Suing the Ex-Officer for ALL the costs his Stupidity cost the Tax Payers so at least some of the $7,000,000.00 Idaho Springs just lost gets recovered…
Ooh! I like the ending Siri quote!
"Sword fish looking sword" so a rapier?
Any cop that knowingly tries to fabricate things like this should be a, arrested b, charged with it, c, forced to pay all expenses that the man has accrued, d, jailed for at least 5 years up to life depending on the charged. Totally unacceptable in this day and age that the public should be forced to pay for corrupt cops no matter what reason.
Without video, the cops would have gotten away with charging & criminalizing this innocent man – in order to cover up their own crimes.
hows that qualified immunity working out? Its really improving the quality of police behaviour
I have always felt that police officers should have to carry a liability insurance, like doctors do. If a cop reaches a point that they cannot be insured… they are gone.
Colorado just recently done away with qualified immunity
Steve that article doesn't tell the whole story. The woman filing the complaint was stoned out of her mind and had no visible injuries. The "sword" was a gift shop replica of a Mayan swords (teeth imbedded in wood) that might have been painful but clearly would not have injured anyone and probably would break if you hit someone. After tazing and realizing the man was seriously injured the 2 cops discussed what to do and decided to pull him out in the hall to claim he attacked them . Then discussed the need to go get the sword and put it in the hall also. The cop who tazed him was fired but the other cop who discussed the lies and filed a false report was allowed to stay.
Attention YouTube watching individual, we don't have a justice system. The United States is ruled by a system of law.
Surprising they didn't try to go for qualified immunity. That seems to be the "get out of jail free" card they all try to play.
Police officers must have a bond you sue their bond company. They lose there immunity when they violate your civil rights.The offense in this case was so egregious they will lose the ability to be bonded thus they will be let go from their current job and not be hireable by any other department.
Uniforms are like cloaking devices to the eyes of the law.
The cop fired had to agree to never work in law enforcement
that pd budget or salary should be cut to 50-70%.
There is no QI against criminal charges:
1. Assault
2. Tampering with evidence
3. Filing false police reports
4. Perjury
Once these felonies are charged and prosecuted, these officers would loose the right to carry a gun and would not be eligible for other law enforcement jobs.
Don’t stop at civil remedies.
The police chief of Preston Idaho was fired for selling impounded vehicles and contraband. He hopped over the mountain to Montpelier Idaho and eventually became the Chief of Police there.
I'm not surprised of the fired officer finds another job within 30-50 miles.
NEVER. EVER. BUT NEVER. EVER open your door for the police.
If they have a search warrant, they won't be knocking.
Best move is to be totally silent and wait for the pigs to leave.
The police are the iron fist of government.
problem is body cams still are not pushing these cops to act right. day in and out what do we see? same shit over and over
